Smith will not play forward, he has trained all preseason as a defender and played the majority of his career as a defender, we have an abundance of mid forwards named in this weeks team and he will not be one of them.

You will be waiting a long long time, Toms AFL career has mostly been underwhelming, I have very low expectations for what he will produce moving forward and I fear his trade value will be minimal at best.

Is that 9 changes since Rd 1? A settled team is something we haven’t had for a long time..

Weed for TMac Kozzie for ANB Vanders for Hunt

Yes agree + King up forward, great mix for them..

Saints looking good...

So who plays on Stringer next week? TMac in for another tough day vs Hurley.

He has bulked up considerably through his torso - chest & back but it has cost him his agility... To go with that he couldn’t keep his feet, if he is to be our main focal point up forward we are in strife.

Let’s start shuffling the deck chairs at selection, again...

No. Pre season games don’t count.

Amateur hour. Pathetic really.

Would he be in contention to get a game in front of Joel Smith 110%. tell me one thing Smith has proved to be better than Frost at. Rightio.

So how did our 3 key backs go tonight?

Why in the heck was Jetta playing on McGovern??? totally undersized down back and matchups all over the place, someone take control! And to see Goodwin laughing and smiling after the game made my blood boil. harden up Melbourne FFS!

McSpud brothers wouldn’t get a kick at local level.

Pathetic effort from an AFL team, barely competitive in the second half. They should be ashamed of that capitulation no matter the result. it’s going to be a long long year.

Pickett should serve another club week’s suspension in the practice match format, teach him from a young age not following proper AFL protocol is unacceptable.

Watching old games during Covid it has never stood out more to me that we need a key fwd that will crash packs and contest in the air at every opportunity, Neitz like, creates so many opportunities. So often over the recent years the opposition marks our fwd entry with our so called tall fwds just watching on! I don’t think TMac is the answer, nor is Brown... Play May forward.

Blokes always been on the nose, as a supporter I was sad when he left the club, early in the next season I was talking to an MFC football department employee and I asked the question about him leaving: the simple answer was he’s not a good bloke..

Brett Lovett, forgot how good he was, never makes a bad decision.

Neitz , Schwartz & Robbo crashing packs up forward, what a delight to watch, not sure we have had a player like that since..

Simple - culture.

Don’t agree with Lyon at 1., Neitz for mine. sean wight to low, green to high. Everything else ?

Bruce & Green would be handy in our current side, a bit of class...

You left out Nick Pesch
